This Mountain
03:26
|
|||
Sit down, come round, spend time with me
And I’ll be what you want, and I’ll be what you need
And I will climb this mountain, your heart and soul to free
If you just walk, walk this path with me
If you just walk, walk this path with me
Well I know that it’s hard to find the time today
And to walk in the light, and not go astray
But we must climb this mountain every single day
For that is how we’ll find our way
For that is how we’ll find our way
Well I see a tender love shining in your eyes
Ah love, my love, every day’s a surprise
And we will climb this mountain, learning how to be
And our hearts, and souls, love will set them free
And our hearts, and souls, love will set them free

Cross of Lorraine
05:46
|
|||
High above Dundas Valley she stands
Our lady of the mountain, watching over this land
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows
A friend to the soldiers, in the medical wars
The children, the Innu the, the people next door
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame, this white plague
But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
And you know that she never, forgets a tear
That face in the lamplight, through the years
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame, this white plague
But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
And we need never, be ashamed
She a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine

The Rain and the Snow
02:24
|
|||
Tell me where does the time in our lives go?
Is it lost between the rain and the snow?
This world keeps turning with us in tow
But tell me where does the time in our lives go?
These fragile eyes of innocence hide
A trust that was broken, and it opened wide
You can never heal after you feel
That cold steel and it’s deep inside
But tell me where does the time in our lives go?
Is it lost between the rain and the snow?
This world keeps turning with us in tow
But tell me where does the time in our lives go?
It’s just a sad song, don’t let it get in the way
A sad song, don’t let in spoil your day
I hunger to comfort, and for ways to break down
This wall that was built without a sound
Just tell me where does the time in our lives go?
Is it lost between the rain and the snow?
This world keeps turning with us in tow
But tell me where does the time in our lives go?
Dancing around and around and around
I saw your smile in the lost and found
Though I live my life on the wrong side of town
I never meant for it to drag you down
Just tell me where does the time in our lives go?
Is it lost between the rain and the snow?
This world keeps turning with us in tow
But tell me where does the time in our lives go?

Precious Life
04:52
|
|||
You know I love you dad, you know I love you ma
So here’s a song, for the setting sun
You know you taught me well, you know you taught me fine
But now I know, we cannot in time abide
And you’ll never know, you’ll just never know
You’ll just never know, how I miss you so
I’ve got to find the time, I’ve got to find the time
I’m going to find the time, to kiss my love goodbye
I’ve got to hug my child, I’ve got to hug my child
I’m going to hug my child, before this day is done
‘Cause it’s a precious life, it’s a precious life
You know it’s a precious life, and I won’t let it go
‘Cause you never know, you just never know
You never know, when it’s time to go
You've got to find the time, you’ve got to find the time
Go on and find the time, to kiss your love goodbye
You’ve got to hug your child, go on and hug your child
You’ve got to hug your child, before this day is done
‘Cause it’s a precious life, it’s a precious life
You know it’s a precious life, don’t you let it slip away
‘Cause you never know, you just never know
You never know, when it’s time to go
When all is said, and all is done
You know this is just a song, for the setting sun

Wings of Light (Live)
02:39
|
|||
I lay by your side, though your eyes are wide
You don’t even know my name
You don’t even know my name
Once our laughter rang, in these songs we sang
Now you don’t even know my name
You don’t even know my name
We bore wings of light, never once feared night
Now I’m all alone again
I just lost my best friend
My heart split in two, the day I lost you
Now I don’t even know my name
I don’t even know my name

Inside
03:28
|
|||
Can I walk you home, in the pale moonlight?
Ooh baby babe, would it be alright?
If it rains we can always go inside
If it rains we can always go inside
Let’s go picking flowers, in the countryside
Or dip our feet, in the salty tide
If it rains we can always go inside
If it rains we can always go inside
But that sun just keeps beating down
Burning holes in our shadows, on the ground
So we had to run to get inside
So we had to run to get inside
Now we sit and wonder, what we’re going to do
‘Cause they say there’s a hole, in the ozone too
Guess we’ll just have to learn to stay inside
Guess we’ll just have to learn to stay inside

Pour Me Home
05:18
|
|||
Know my throat is dry, but I don’t want no water
Man I just can’t cry, even though I want to
Been no love so long, I don’t even want to
What did I do wrong, to cause so much sorrow?
Ooh you better pour me home, just pour me home
I won’t do no wrong
I’m on tobacco road, but there’s no tomorrow
And every row I hoe, Lord I got to borrow
There’s a broken bar, just around the corner
When the Guinness flows, Lord I want to holler
Ooh you better pour me home, just pour me home
Before she’s gone

Wild Horse
05:10
|
|||
The subtle taste of moonlight, I’m walking into stars
You being right beside me, forever near and far
You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel
You’re like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field
A simple taste of morning, greets my every day
With your head upon my pillow, I’ll blow your blues away
You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel
Like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field
A golden glow of sunlight, in a salty sea of air
The rising tide of silence, as you untie your hair
You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel
You’re like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field

Time and Space
03:48
|
|||
Well yes I love you, like the morning sun
Like the morning sun, upon your face
Well yes I love you, even your goodbye’s
Leaving not a tear in my eyes
And I won’t worry, ‘cause there’s no better time
No there’s no better time, to give my love
And don’t you worry, ‘cause there’s no bitterness
There’s no bitterness, in my heart
I’m going to miss you, miss you like a friend
I’ll miss you like a friend, until the end
I’m going to miss you, each and every day
Each and every day, that we’re apart
But don’t you worry, ‘cause I’ll home again
I’ll be home again to see you’re face
And I won’t worry, ‘cause I know true love
Is beyond all time and space
But don’t you worry, ‘cause I’ll home again
I’ll be home again to see you’re face
And I won’t worry, ‘cause I know true love
Is beyond all time and space
Well yes I love you, like the morning sun
Like that morning sun, upon your face
Well yes I love you, even your goodbye’s
Leaving not a tear in my eyes

Song for Sarajevo
02:49
|
|||
Oh Sasha, make your body move
Make your lips and fingertips, an undulating groove
Oh Sasha, get your bucket too
Fetch some water for the kids, and then some candy too
For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die
Oh Peter, run the corridor fast
You don’t have to be the first, just don’t be the last
Oh Peter, see the tombstone eyes
In the UNies, in the cameras, don’t be so surprised
That in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die
Oh Mary, hope it isn’t true
That this war is coming to a neighbourhood near you
Oh Buddha, save the planet soon
Stop the hatred, stop the bombing, take us to the moon
For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die
Oh Yahweh, can you hear us too?
Slimy bits of protoplasm, calling out for you
Oh Mohammed, take us where we stand
There’s no way in God’s creation, we’ll give us this land
In this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die
Oh Sasha, make your body move
Make your lips and fingertips, an undulating groove
Oh Sasha, get your bucket too
Fetch some water for the kids, and then some candy too
For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die

Shifting Sand
04:42
|
|||
Miles and miles down that broken road
I know your smile hides a heavy load
No time for crying or growing old
No time for being here so all alone
Let me take you by the hand
‘Cause nothing turns out like it’s planned
And we don’t know where we will land
On this constant shifting sand
Give me shelter in the ache of night
My time and age are taking flight
I’ll be your compass, you be my light
I’ll be your hearing, you be my sight
Let me take you by the hand
‘Cause nothing turns out like it’s planned
And we don’t know where we will land
On this constant shifting sand
This story is both yours and mine
Breaking silence, call out the crime
With body, soul, heart, and mind
Let’s make peace, with the hands of time
Let’s make peace ,with the hands of time
Let’s make peace, with the hands of time
Let’s make peace, with the hands of time
Let’s make peace, with the hands of time
Hands of time, hands of time, O Lord, hands of time

Some Roads
03:33
|
|||
I don’t have any words
That could make you see
That it was not your fault
It just wasn’t meant to be
Some roads, they only lead
To the places that you’ve been
But the heart, it can be healed
If you let yourself just feel
Please don’t ask anymore
I don’t want you to say
That you’d be my only love
Every night and day
Some roads, they only lead
To the places that you’ve been
But the heart, it can be healed
If you let yourself just feel
And I cannot fall in love
I’ve got no more tears to cry
You know it’s over now
And it’s time to say goodbye
Some roads, they only lead
To the places that you’ve been
But the heart, it can be healed
If you let yourself just feel

Mighty Shore
05:12
|
|||
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore
Headed down the Cali coast
Redwood forest and live oak
Mendocino’s on my way
Then down by the bay
Picking and grinning every day
Goodbye to my Golden Gate
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore
Well I played in Monterey, in Santa Cruz I lost my way
You know that I lost my way
But Big Sur, you stole my heart
Had to love you from the start
You know that I loved you from the start
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore
Then down Paso way, had a chance to sing and play
Among those Cambria pines
Settled on the old SLO coast
Avila, I miss you most
You know that I miss you the most
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore
Ventura to Ojai, Venice Beach you ought to try
You know that you really ought to try
San Diego radio, all the way to Mexico
Bienvenido a Mexico
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore
I said I’m washed up on your mighty shore
You know I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your mighty shore

Burning Bridges
04:08
|
|||
Sitting here in the pouring rain
I wonder if I’ll ever be the same
You know it isn’t true, what they said
But I’ve been living with this price on my head
I would never wish you any harm
And it hurts to see you cry
I guess my anger got the best of me
It’s just that I don’t understand, why?
I walk around in this empty town
Watching the smiles as they turn into frowns
Is there something we can believe?
Or does this devil have something up its sleeve?
The winds are calling me now
We’ve been burning our bridges down
Knocking these walls to the ground
Let’s turn this madness around
Turn this madness around

Are You There? (Live)
04:02
|
|||
He came from a land of cotton
Under a blue blue sky
But all he ever got your people
Was their lies
He worked and he laboured
And tried to please them all
But even a strong man
Without love, is bound to fall
He never had a chance to live
What we’d call a life
No father and no mother
Never had a loving wife
He needed more love
Than the world could give him
He needed more love
Than the world could spare
He needed more love
Than the world could give him
Do you care? Do you care?
Sometimes he’d make it up
In his electric chair
And try to please us all
And show us how to care
When I heard that he left us
When I heard that he died
And we could make room for another
I wrote down this song and I cried
You needed more love
Than the world could give you
You needed a world that could care
You needed a world that could give you…
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there?

Saskatoon (Louie's Song)
03:21
|
|||
When the fall is near, and the day is clear
That’s the time I’ll come to you
In the morning dew, sparkling flowers bloom
In an empty sky of blue
And I love you, I love you
I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you
I love you, it’s true
As the days rip by, in a world of sighs
There is nothing known for sure
Let us cast a glance, at this one last chance
It is all we’ll ever have
And I love you, I love you
I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you
Yes I love you, it’s true
With the winter soon, cracking Saskatoon
There is no place left to hide
But we’ll sail away, on that first Spring day
Under a prairie full moon
And I love you, I love you
I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you
I love you, it is true
I love you, I love you, I love you

Doomed
05:31
|
|||
Come and sit beside me
It’s going to be a while
Been such a long time
Since I’ve seen that smile
With no TV, net, or phone
And no Game of Thrones
It’s so hard to be alone
Out here on our own
We are doomed, we are doomed
The fire is inviting
I think you will agree
Now is the right time
For just you and me
We can talk about the kids
And listen to the sea
Imagine what it’s like
To be young and free
We are doomed, we are doomed
Come and sit beside me
And I will rub your feet
Being off of Facebook
Is really kind of neat
We can talk about the weather
Or a terrorist attack
And wonder if we’ll ever
Get our power back
We are doomed, we are doomed
Come and sit here by the fire
There’s no place to go
Tell me your desire
I really want to know
We can talk about rogue nations
The latest allegations
Maybe global warming
Or that nuclear warning
We are doomed, we are doomed
We’re doomed, we’re doomed
But that’s OK
We can always play
This song, this song
This song, this song

Lover True
03:05
|
|||
Don’t forget about me
Don’t forget about me
I loved you true, I said I do
So don’t forget about me
I once was your lover true
I once said that I do
I once thought that
You loved me too
How I loved to see you smile
How I loved to see you smile
O babe, its been a while
But how I loved to see you smile
I once was your lover true
I once said that I do
I once thought that
You loved me too
So don’t forget about me
No, don’t forget about me
I loved you true
I said I do
So don’t forget
Just don’t, just don’t
Just don’t, just don’t
Just don’t
